and yet the main message from obama's three day trip was not even on the decades long conflict but rather more of the usual recruit on the situation in neighboring syria the united states continues to work with allies and friends and the syrian opposition to hasten the end of assad's rule and only ran in its nuclear program more of the same warnings netanyahu seized on that year to send a message to tehran about american loyalty to israel mr president i want to thank you once again for always making clear that israel must be able to defend itself by itself against any threats it's no coincidence that obama chose israel for the first foreign visit of his second term relations between him and it on yahoo have been strained particularly over west bank settlements and the rain in through it and although they both put on a happy face for the cameras there's no denying the mistrust below the surface. israel can never see the right to defend or seems to others even to the greatest of our friends in the off the map of the arab spring the united states needs all the flames it can gate but for all
